idoxlr8 Posted December 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2011 I am now into the restoration of my motor and have begun to pull the head apart.The center cam lobe is badly galled in has damaged the tower.This has me thinking I should just purchase a rebuilt head and get it over with, this head has 100K on it.Any recommendations? Vendors?It's a stock e88 on a mild 2.6, so I don't need anything exotic.Any input is appreciatedThanksDean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmortensen Posted December 18, 2011 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2011 Are you "restoring" or just making it run? If you're restoring, then you can just go buy the correct cam and towers and put them on your existing head.If you just want it to run, then you can pick any of them. I believe my bro-in-law has several of the open chambered E88s, his email is matm AT m2differentials DOT com. He has a bunch of other heads too if there is another you would prefer.

The head I have has worn lifters and am probably looking at a valve job as well.Rebuilt n42's seem to go for pretty reasonable prices......good choice?Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmit208 Posted December 20, 2011 Share #4 Posted December 20, 2011 Performance N42's are not cheap ..at least I haven't been able to find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmortensen Posted December 20, 2011 Share #5 Posted December 20, 2011 You're making it run. If you were restoring, you would want the original head.N42's aren't that hard to come by. Check with Mat, put out a WTB ad, you'll find one. Doing a valve job isn't too bad money wise, just make sure the shop knows L heads. The performance headwork is expensive. Delta cams resurfaces rockers, www.zccjdm.com has new profiled, lighter rockers if you're really going all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted December 20, 2011 Share #6 Posted December 20, 2011 There is some guy on hybridz that was selling e-88 heads for 25$ each and that would be original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
